Distribution of loads for BFR and TRAD according to acronym FITT-VP.*

Group Week F I T1 T V P
BFR 1 º 3 30-35% 5 min Resistance 15 min Intensity
2 º 40-45% Intensity
3 º 50-55% Intensity
4 º 50-55%
TRAD 1 º 3 65-70% 5 min Resistance 15 min Intensity
2 º 70-75% Intensity
3 º 80-85% Intensity
4 º 80-85%

BFR = blood flow restriction training group; TRAD = traditional training group; min = minutes; F = frequency (times per week); I = Intensity (% Maximum handgrip strength test, from pre assessment value); T1 = time (duration); T = Type (aerobic, resistance, neuromuscular, neuromotor, flexibility); V = Volume (F x T¹); P = Progression
